Wow a good Brantley review of something I really like. I'm not sure that's ever happened before!

:D Yeah, it was almost... giddy :D

Wow. No over the top fawning, no spoilers, just a great review (from someone who has way too much pull sometimes). Good for the whole N2N team, they deserve the praise.

*G* I'm hoping that they'll put his opening sentence on new advertisements and see a great boost at the box office. :)

It's going to be an interesting nomination process... to see how 9 to 5 does in terms of reviews and noms as compared to N2N. :)

I am sure they will.

It will prove interesting, no doubt, with the both of them coming on so strongly at the end. I think a lot of it will depend on how much discomfort people feel watching N2N. It's kind of funny to think of it facing off with three rather fluffy competitors for the big prize.

(On a personal level, I am torn, because I ADORE Dolly Parton and would love to see her get the Tony for her score, but also love Tom Kitt and think that he and Brian Yorkey created something absolutely amazing.)
